HYBE, the management agency of the superstar boy group, BTS, has entered the Latin American market by launching its new subsidiary in Mexico. It was said that the company is diving into this overseas market to have other businesses amid the prediction that Kpop may slow down.

The top producers in the company will come up with new systems for training the recruits to become the best musicians suited for the market. In the long term, the firm is planning a fusion that will combine Latin music with K-pop's unique business structure that has already been proven to work in South Korea.
HYBE is also aware that the market size for Latin American music increased by 26.4% on year to $1.3 billion last year. This huge jump strengthened the BTS agency’s interest in entering this market.
